Axiell WeLib Ideas

Important information

Since this idea portal was introduced, it has received a number of suggestions and improvement ideas from WeLib users. We truly appreciate the engagement and valuable input that has helped us refine and improve WeLib during its time as an active product.


WeLib has served school libraries well over the years and has been an important part of our offering. However, WeLib, as a standalone library management system, is no longer actively sold, and active development of the product has now come to an end.


For this reason, we cannot guarantee that new suggestions submitted through this portal will be reviewed or responded to going forward. We will continue to value the ideas and experiences shared by users, and these insights are taken into account in our broader work with current and future library solutions.


Barcode on mobile phone

It would be useful if a student could use his/her mobile phone as a borrowes card, meaning that the cardnumber should be visible as a barcode in WeLib., to be used on self check units in the Library.

    There are scanners that can read both barcodes and QR-codes. So if a user has such a scanner and scans a QR-code created from his username, this would probably work already today.

    It looks promising but we need to test and investigate if there is any other development needed for this.

    This goes also for special library users. fr.ex. Lawyers. Barcode or QR code.
